渐进式的核心训练—NASM-OPT 模型

FITNESS. Ask any average Joe what encompasses fitness and you’ll get the imagery of people involved in rigorous sweat-dripping activities; the gym and team sports come to mind. However, if you spoke of the word GOLF and FITNESS in the same sentence, you’d probably be met with furrowed eyebrows. To the general public, golf is often perceived as a slow-paced leisure activity but do not be mistaken. To play golf well requires lots of upper body movement as well as core strength (Harmon, 2010).

We know that sitting isn't the best for us who want to be healthy. Ironically, we're the generation that is the most sedentary. We ascend with escalators and elevators. We commute cars and bikes. We do our best to park as close as we can to our dinner place. What's worse is that we adopt bad habits when sitting AND standing; rounded shoulders, hunched backs, forward heads, the list goes on! To make it worse, we get stuck in awful traffic jams especially for us living in the city (I'm looking at you LDP highway).

In recent years, the concept of sports performance training has been gaining traction, with coaches increasingly realising the importance of physical training to complement an athlete's skill training programme. Golf- yes, a sport, although it appears to be of low intensity, has also been facing a paradigm shift in its training: golfers of all skill levels are seeing the benefits of conditioning their body to achieve optimum game performance - they now understand that improving their game is not only about the game itself- it is about looking at the body as one unit, and unlocking the body's optimum potential/performance through physical fitness training and conditioning.

If you’ve clicked this blog entry with eyes-rolling, good job! If you clicked wondering what the secret is, good job! Here’s lesson 1 of Fat Loss.

Muscle tightness is very common in Brazilian Jiujitsu and most injuries, like lower back, knee and shoulder pain, are caused by tight muscles. Hence, it's important to stretch before rolling with your teammates as stretching BEFORE training helps improve your joint range of motion and athletic performance, and decrease the risk of getting injured. Instead of finding random warm-up stretches on YouTube, here are some movement drills that you can do before training:

Before we begin the article, I would just like to stay that compared to many lifters, I am relatively new to the fitness industry and I’m constantly looking for ways to improve myself as a trainer and as a lifter. Next month will mark the 4th consecutive year I have been lifting consistently. My fitness journey was self-developing and I never really had any guidance nor did I have a personal trainer so experience was my greatest teacher (as well as YouTube). However, looking back, there are 3 things I wished I could change if I were a newbie all over again.

People often neglect the importance of implementing balance training exercises into their regimen. This is because most do not understand the benefits of it.

Welcome back! If you’re new to this “series”, go back to Part 1 [link here]. If you’ve read and applied Part 1 to your training, well done! There are a plethora of reasons as to why knees hurt but it all boils to the very fact that knees are very unstable by nature. As such, it is imperative that we do all we can to strengthen the ligaments surrounding it by placing ourselves in a proprioceptively enriched environment (unstable environment in English).

Based on Functional Movement Screen, how well do you think you are able to do the 7 movement screening patterns? The human’s perspectives of performing basic movements are big, particularly for athletes. However, when these movements feel difficult or become a struggle, a step back may just be what is needed.

There is a huge debate going on between unilateral and bilateral exercises. Before we dive into which exercise approach works best, let’s take a look at what unilateral and bilateral exercises are...

Before we can think about loading up the legs or even putting them through resistance training, allow me to introduce you to the wonders of self-myofascial release (SMR). SMR is used to “roll out” tight muscles by improving fascia distribution over the muscles.
